Thoroughly enjoyed Doves last night.  I can see how some may have been disappointed having seen other shows of theirs, but as this was my first, I had a lovely time.  Loved the fact that they didn't hold back at the start, throwing out Pounding and Black and White Town early in the show and using there goes the fear as a bracket for the whole set.  Nicely done.  
 
 Yes, the lead singer changed some notes (presumably) to accommodate his recent vocal cord issues which didn't let some of the songs hit their highest highs, but you still felt it regardless.
 
 What to say of Mercury Rev.  Couple songs sat real well with me, but their closer sounded like the Flaming Lips channeling Brian Adams.  Wow.  How bad was that?

not far from merch. table with a bunch of local r&r celebrities
I was right by the merch table - who were the local r&r celebs? [/b]
i think she's talking about the lead singer of Noisy Zen and the bassist for Los Pimpos ... they both scored gigs at the Grog and Tankard this weekend!! [/b]
Not unlike journalists writing free shit for a give away rag...hoping for more lucrative gigs. Who needs to know which groups were there since Hoya already knows all...oh mighty God of all things hip (even tho he wouldn't be caught dead going to any "uncool" music venues where these bands play - so he's clueless as to who they all are...)
 
 BTW: I have it from a reliable source that if you attempt your self professed "cigarette" as a tool to menace those around you who display what you call "unacceptable" concert manners, you'll be leaving quickly with an escort in a black t-shirt, and a funny wire in his/her ear. They know who you are, dood.

I wonder how fully recovered Jimi is from his recent voice injury. He clearly was not sounding his best last night. His voice was somewhat shrill and harsh compared to the previous two times I've seen Doves, and I suspect that the injury may still be a factor. When Jimi is not sounding great, I think the whole band suffers, and like most people have already said, it wasn't their best performance. But despite that, it's always great to hear songs like "The Cedar Room" and "Pounding" and "There Goes the Fear" live, and I still very much enjoyed the show. The only thing that I was at all disappointed by is that they're not closing with "Spaceface" anymore.

Yes, that one of the secret bands:  That's the guy I was flirting with from the Walnut Grove Band - playing in June at DC9, btw.  Isn't he cute?

huh?  is this a threat from the club?  have i ever tried to be anonymous?
 
 i said on a previous thread that i've blown smoke in the diretion of someone who rudely pushes through a packed crowd and proceeds to plant himself within 6 inches of my face ... i think many people have done / do the same thing, and if it's grounds for removal from the club then so be it.
 
 lady, you are really really crazy.

The Onion: "Totally Hot Chick Also Way Psycho"
 
 ATHENS, GA--Heather Blake, a University of Georgia business major with unbelievably beautiful eyes and a totally killer body, is also way psycho, sources close to the popular 21-year-old reported Monday.
 
 "Heather's this weirdo combination of incredible love goddess and, like, freako banshee demon from beyond hell," said Georgia senior Brad Carver, who noted that he has been there, man, been there. "She made my freshman year a complete and total living nightmare. I made out with her once behind the stairs in the Physical Science Building. It was the single greatest moment of my life."
 
 Campus-wide sources said the amazingly hot Blake, who works at the reception desk in the bursar's office, isn't just built like, kapow, but also has the most incredible, luscious hair ever.
 
 "That one really hot chick from the bursar's office is way fucked in the head and everybody knows it," junior Steve Bittan said. "Don't even start with her, no matter how bad you want to."
 
 According to Bittan, Blake gets all pissed off if someone is staring at her, but she goes out of her way to make searing, prolonged eye contact with anyone who doesn't.
 
 "Blake The Flake, they call her," Bittan said. "I once saw her in a bikini. Oh, God, I won't even go into it."
 
 Though Blake has never been diagnosed with a mental illness, the increasing number of reports since her arrival on campus in 1996 have caused her sanity to be called into question.
 
 "That chick has a weird history, man. She's bad news, plain and simple," said Matt Weiler, 21, who went on a date with Blake two years ago. "I think she might have one of those attention-seeking disorders or like an inability to grasp reality or something like that."
 
 "Shit, I've got to talk to her again, if only to hear her voice," Weiler added. "You know, she called me her soulmate for life on that night we were together."
 
 Sophomore Dave Elgin said that on May 22, he spent over four hours fixing Blake's car, only to be told afterwards that it really meant a lot to her because the car was "a gift from a very special guy" with whom she really thought she might be falling in love. Blake then told him she wasn't sure she could ever really love the other man fully, however, after meeting someone as kind and generous as Elgin.
 
 Other evidence of Blake's psycho mental status includes a June 3 incident in which she stayed up until 4 a.m. curled up against senior Rob Pollian on his couch, telling him all her sexual fantasies, only to become enraged when he attempted to kiss her.
 
 A number of individuals within the desperately-trying-to-make-it-with-Heather-Blake community have even suggested that she ought to be locked up or something for all the shit she's done.
 
 According to Bryce Meyers, 22, Blake told him last November that he was the last guy on Earth she'd ever want to go out with "because she would never want to hurt anyone so important to her," right before kissing him and running out of the room.
 
 "I couldn't believe the kind of crap she pulled," Meyers said. "When she was doing a semester abroad in Spain, we were on the phone constantly, and I ran up this humongous phone bill talking about how I was going to come visit her over winter break. She was all like, 'I can't wait to be near you,' and 'I need to feel you close to me.' Then, when I show up in Madrid, she meets me at the airport and says, 'I'd like to introduce you to my boyfriend Carlos.' I'm standing there thinking, 'Well, Christ, man, who the fuck is Carlos?'"
 
 As so many others have, Meyers forgave Blake because of her mental condition.
 
 "She's crazy, man. What can you do?" Meyers said. "You know, Heather used to tell me that it's really hard for her just to be happy some days. I guess it totally sucks being so beautiful because of all the expectations that are placed on you."
 
 According to those close to Blake, the link between her mind-blowing good looks and out-of-her-tree psycho head trips is undeniable.
 
 "Heather's just totally got everybody in the palm of her hand," said Ryan McEachern, a friend of Blake's since high school. "Obviously, having everybody always wanting her so bad has, like, screwed with her self-esteem and shit. But maybe if she just met a guy who understood the real person underneath the beauty, she could straighten out her head. I wonder if that man could be me."
 
 Blake could not be reached for comment regarding the possibility of a relationship with McEachern, as her answering machine just kept picking up for hours even though she said she would be home, leading to speculation that she might be with that one guy from the rowing team.

...I'll show you HOW crazy if you (a) ever burn me with your cigarette; which I know won't be a mistake; or (b) blow smoke in my face.  For the record, I am not a club employee. I can tell you with a high degree of certainty - having observed it - that any behavior designed to antagonize other guests on purpose, in a packed club, will probably result in an eviction...albeit a gentle one - since club employees rarely resort to physical contact.
 
 Being called an "asshole" or sarcasticly ridiculed every time I post an opinion here is really offensive to me. Retard, cock chomper, etc. some of your other fav. disgusting insults - are offensive even when NOT directed at one personally.  You're just not very "responsible" tolerant or kind at all. This is a public forum viewable by anyone - even future employers and law school admissions officers. YOU may be the one who needs to take it down a notch. Comprendez?
